Trump Pulls Out Early

Today, June 1, 2017, Donald J. Trump showed he really doesn’t care about human beings. He relies on people who cherish money and business over the life of the very planet on which we live. Trump said “No” to survival and to science today and I must ask who is cheering him? Who is on his side on this one? This is just one more indication that he is not fit to be President.

Nixon established the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) and Ronald Reagan signed legislation to help eliminate acid rain, but Agent Orange in the White House today went against the good judgement of hundreds of major US businesses, 147 other countries and, more importantly, some of the smartest scientists of the world.

This was not a little deal to build a casino in New Jersey. This was the agreement of every major nation to change the way we treat the earth. Once again, Trump is marching toward a slippery precipice which will surely take this country over the edge. This new decree from King Trump might be wrapped in a foil package marked America First, but it really should have a large sign that says, “Earth Last!”

The world is not flat, Donald. It’s a round sphere with a circumference of more than 25,000 miles moving at the speed of one thousand miles per hour. 7.34 Billion people live on this blue planet. Why are you strangling her? I am sure you think you can hold it in your little grimy hand, but it’s not your world to hold.

One of the biggest mistakes the Trump administration made was placing Scott Pruitt as the head of the Environment Protection Agency. Scott is a brain-dead politician from Oklahoma who, through his legislative actions in that state, created more earthquakes than God. I mean real earthquakes that have measurably increased by relaxing laws on fracking causing the conditions for tectonic shifts under the earth.

As you can see from the graph, earthquakes are now common in Oklahoma thanks to Scott Pruitt. He is the most dangerous person to the environment in our country and he heads the agency there to protect it. It’s Trump’s fault. He picks bad people. Now Pruitt can help screw the whole planet. Why does this man have power?

Not only has Pruitt filled positions at the EPA with people having clear conflicts of interests, he scuttled the Clean Power Plan, diluted the Mercury and Air Toxin Rules, shut out scientific advisors, took down valuable data from the public EPA website, called for a 31% decrease in the EPA budget and has been the loudest voice against the Paris accord. He has been shouting in Trump’s ear and polluting his mind with non-facts, hearsay and denial. Pruitt will destroy America and the world. A truly aimless, soulless human being. And remember, Donald Trump brags about this appointment.

The only way people can understand the impact of these actions is to talk to some of the people most recently affected by the lack of rules and thoughtless politicians. Ask the mother’s in Flint, Michigan about how their children will never recover from a bad decision about the water for that city.

Ask the people who are downstream from polluting plants and rule breakers who have bribed politicians with contributions. Commissions and departments look the other way while these industrial whores slowly kill our babies.

Donald Trump’s concept of half-tweets in the middle of the night and his inability to really understand how things work in Washington cannot compare to his pure destruction of good things and the addition of bad things. Sad!

Trump signed a law that says Internet companies can sell your data and you slept. The Donald has taken away more of your civic rights in 100 days than any president, and you slept. And our President embarrassed our country on the world stage and was rude to our allies, and you slept. Now, Donald Trump is moving to destroy the environment and we have to ask, “WHEN WILL YOU WAKE UP?”
